Here, mountains and waters intertwine, with pavilions and towers scattered throughout, creating an elegant landscape painting. Visitors can feel the grandeur of royalty while enjoying the tranquility and coolness of nature. The resort is cleverly divided into palace, lake, plain, and mountain areas, each with its unique charm. Strolling by the lake, the shimmering water reflects the surrounding peaks and ancient buildings, providing a sense of serenity. Boating on the lake, one can take in the distant mountains and nearby waters, feeling embraced by nature. The lake area of the resort, known as the "Little West Lake," seamlessly integrates exquisite pavilions and natural scenery, making every step poetic. The architectural design of the resort exudes royal grandeur and literary elegance. Whether it's the magnificent main palace or the serene courtyards, they all showcase the Qing emperors' refined lifestyle and reverence for nature. The most famous Yanbo Zhishuang Hall is not only a great place to cool off but also offers a panoramic view of the lake and mountains, achieving true harmony between man and nature. The mountain area behind the resort is even more picturesque, with rolling peaks and lush forests exuding a strong natural atmosphere. Climbing to the top, one can overlook the entire Chengde, with a vast and magnificent view that embodies the royal majesty and a broad vision of the world. The resort is beautiful in all seasons, especially cool and pleasant in summer, making it an ideal place to escape the heat. Whether wandering by the lake or strolling along mountain paths, every scene here relaxes the body and mind, immersing visitors in the tranquility of nature and the elegance of the royal garden.

For those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the coolness of nature, Chengde Mountain Resort is undoubtedly an ideal summer retreat.

Getting There - The best and easiest way is to go there by car / taxi. Tickets - For 80 yuans, you can get a ticket to Waiba temple (down the road and much smaller), and the Putuo Zongcheng temple (which is the one known as the Little Potala Palace). Attractions - so many things to see, but the Red Roof (if I’m not mistaken) was inspired in the Tibetan Potala Palace, so the architecture and the colors - maroon, white, yellow and green - really stand out when compared to other temples. Hotels - there are some hotels nearby, and I definitely recommend the Puning Mountain Resort Hotel if you want to stay at a place that has beautiful Chinese architecture. Food & Restaurants - When you go out from the temple complex, there are many shops selling noodles, almonds, and so on. Shopping - There are many shops inside the temple complex and outside selling fans, bracelets, and so on. #chengde #putuotemple

Getting There - fast train🚊 from Beijing takes 50 minutes, get off at railway station . Take bus number 69 get off near hoashanmiao stop. Attractions - summer mountain resort Hotels - chengde hotel. Holiday inn Food & Restaurants - big pizza. Dong lai shun hotpot Shopping - dragon mall

This hotel was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. We traveled to Chengde by train from Beijing and then took a taxi to the hotel. The staff were available on WeChat to answer any questions we had. Once we arrived we were show to our room which was across from the pool and deck. The view was perfect and the infinity pool cool and perfect for swimming and taking in the view. We ate all our meals at the hotel and the food was delicious. There were friendly dogs in the gardens. during the evening and on the weekends, the gardens filled up with visitors coming for a barbecue dinner, so grab a table early! After dinner we went for walks nearby. This was the perfect outdoor weekend getaway from Beijing. Super peaceful and delicious 😋 #weekendgetaway #gooutside #chengde #hebei

Now that there is a high speed train right from Beijing you can get to Chengde in about an hour making it a great day trip. I was supposed to go to Tibet earlier in the year and Covid put a stop to that. Chengde was a great alternative. I would suggest starting the day at some of the temples around town, there are a few large ones up on the hills. Then heading to town, there were a few flee markets where you can go shopping and get a few extremely heavy Buddhist statues (why I suggest doing it later in the day). Unfortunately we had plans of exploring the rest of town later on but rain clouds appeared out of nowhere so we called a didi to take us back to the train station.

Getting There - The fast train from Beijing takes 1 hour. Attractions - Peace, quiet, nature, walks, village life Hotels - Sunshine Keep Hotel #beautifulhotel#naturalwonders#summervacation

Super cool city, nice breeze , many exiting street food with good taste.. colorful buildings and nice scenic spots

potalaka - means small potala, is actually a copy of the original Potala palace from Lhasa. it's almost the same as on the picture of 50 rmb, as u can see. this place is huge. usually I don't like to go with guided groups but this time I had to so I didn't have time to really look around. it was very stupid to go with the group, bit at least the guide was good and told lots of stories some of them may not be true though. #potalaka #chengde #happynewyear #happynewyear

wow, so Chengde is the place I remember as official place where I first (and hopefully the last) time tried donkey meat (sorry vegans) actually I didn't know what kind of meat it was and it was surprisingly delicious but when I asked whether it was beef or pork I was answered that it was donkey. It appears that donkeys ate usual food here. nevertheless I have to admit I like Hebei food a lot and got used to it as well. certainly recommend this place. #chengde #china #deliciousfood #couplestrip #happynewyear #happynewyear

When I went to Chengde it started raining, but it did int stop us from enjoying the beautiful architecture of the city. There are many historical landmarks to see and the place is really pretty #china #happynewyear #unforgettableexperiences #instagramworthydestinations #happynewyear

| A once-in-a-lifetime trip. Torres del Paine | A Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip Early summer in Torres del Paine is a continuous scroll of picturesque scenery. The first stop of our Thanksgiving holiday in Patagonia was Puerto Natales, from where we headed straight to Torres del Paine National Park on the Chilean side. For the next two days, we were lucky enough to experience perfect weather, a rarity that occurs only a few times a year. At this "end of the world," famous for its strong winds, heavy rain, and unpredictable weather, we witnessed clear blue skies, white clouds, and stunning sunsets. Torres del Paine's appearance on the cover of Lonely Planet is definitely well-deserved. It's safe to say that this place fulfills all my fantasies about landscape photography. The rugged terrain, the accessible snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the winding rivers create endless possibilities. Every casual shot, every pause by the roadside, captures unimaginable beauty. The roads inside the park are quite challenging, so drive with caution. Recommended Spots: Cover Photo: The hillside and boardwalk north of Explora Hotel offer excellent spots for both portraits and landscapes. We captured the main peaks before sunset. Swiss-style lake and red house: The small hill east of Hosteria Pehoe. Winding river and Paine Grande: Mirador Rio Serrano, located outside the park, is a great spot for flying drones. Sunrise on Los Cuernos: Mirador Base Las Torres requires a night hike, a 24 km round trip from Hotel Las Torres. If you're planning a trip to Torres del Paine and have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Spring has sprung, and it's the perfect time for a refreshing trip. The vast area north of the Yangtze River is especially suitable for spring outings. I highly recommend visiting Chengde in the summer. Once the Emperor's Summer Resort, it's now a popular destination to escape the northern summer heat. The Outer Eight Temples are a must-see, rich in culture and history, making them a fantastic attraction. If you're driving to Chengde, please be sure to follow traffic regulations.

Don't be surprised, friends, this isn't Xinjiang, it's Hebei! I'm completely captivated by this hidden travel gem. I never expected Hebei to have so many eye-opening tourist attractions. In a single trip, I experienced the seaside, grasslands🌿, and palaces🏰, scenery I previously thought wouldn't be found together. From August to October, Hebei is the perfect travel destination! On this Hebei trip, Qinhuangdao and Bashang Grassland were the most impressive and are definitely my top picks for Hebei tourism. ❗Reminder: Some places in Hebei are just internet-famous spots and might not be as interesting as they seem. Some facilities might even be a bit rough, so planning your trip is crucial! Don't pack your itinerary too tightly. My 5-day trip was just right for a relaxing tour of the hidden gems along this loop route. - 📍Recommended Hebei tourist spots: Qinhuangdao Beidaihe (highly recommended!), Chengde Mountain Resort (a great place to escape the summer heat), Bashang Grassland, and Wulan Butong. - ⚠️Important Notes ❶The UV rays are very strong on the coast of Qinhuangdao, so be sure to take sun protection measures. If you want to swim, the water temperature is suitable from now until October. ❷There is a large temperature difference between day and night on the grasslands and by the sea, so it's recommended to bring a jacket for mornings and evenings. ❸The journey to the grasslands is long, with few convenience stores along the way and no public transportation. It is recommended to carpool or join a tour group and bring your own food and water. ❹There are many mosquitoes on the grasslands in summer, so bring mosquito repellent. - ✅Must-visit beaches in Beidaihe: 1⃣️Coastal Bathing Beach: Fine sand and clear water. 2⃣️Aranya: The most popular beach in Beidaihe. 3⃣️Shallow Water Bay: Less crowded, surrounded by trees, with a gentle beach, perfect for watching the sunrise. 4⃣️Pigeon's Nest: A famous sunrise viewing spot in Beidaihe. - ⭐Must-see attractions at the Chengde Mountain Resort: Chengde Mountain Resort plaque, Yan Yu Lou, Rehe, Jinshan, Shuixin Xie, and Wenjin Pavilion. ⭐Must-see attractions on the grasslands: Wulan Butong Film and Television Base, Hongsongwa, General Paozi, National Highway No. 1 Scenic Drive, Lovers' Valley, and Qiansongba. -

In February, the spring chill has not yet dissipated, but Chengde seems like a treasure city carrying the vicissitudes of history and the beauty of nature, exuding a unique charm and attracting travelers from all over the world. Perhaps you came here because of the song "Song of Chengde", "Chengde's landscape is picturesque, the Mountain Resort reflects the sunset, the bells of the Eight Outer Temples can be heard thousands of miles away, and everyone praises the customs of the northern frontier."

The forest in February was covered in snow. Along the way, we could see strange peaks and rocks of various shapes. The Qingchui Peak stood alone, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, like an inverted giant hammer. The uncanny workmanship of nature was amazing😮. After reaching the top, you can overlook the entire Chengde city and the surrounding mountains and rivers. The view is broad and refreshing.

Then head to Anyuan Temple, where the unique architectural style complements the surrounding environment. Learn about the historical stories behind it and feel its role as a bond of national unity.

📅Jan 16, 2025 ⛩️Putuo Zongcheng Temple 🔺Also known as the "Little Potala Palace," it is the largest temple among the Eight Outer Temples of the Chengde Mountain Resort. It was built by order of Emperor Qianlong to celebrate his 60th birthday and the 80th birthday of Empress Dowager Chongqing, modeled after the Potala Palace in Lhasa. 📷The scenic area is very photogenic, and there are relatively few people during the National Day holiday. I went on October 1, and it was raining in the morning, but the weather was great with blue skies and white clouds when I was visiting! Climbing to the top floor, you can see the obvious traces of war invasion on the top of the tower. If you want to take a panoramic photo of the Little Potala Palace, you need to go to the wall of the mountain area of the Mountain Resort. The view from above is quite spectacular~ 🎫Ticket: CNY 80/person (Available online and offline, offline purchase requires ID card) 🕖Opening hours: 7:00–18:00 There are many people taking photos in Tibetan costumes inside and outside the scenic area, but I think it's better to go to Tibet for photos.

#chinatrip My visit to Qingchuifeng National Forest Park was a journey into a landscape of towering peaks, lush greenery, and serene walking trails. Nestled in China’s Hebei Province, this hidden gem is known for its striking rock formations, dense forests, and peaceful atmosphere—offering a perfect escape into nature. As I arrived, the most striking feature was Qingchuifeng Peak, a towering rock formation that rises dramatically above the forest. Its sheer cliffs and unique shape make it a standout landmark, and from a distance, it almost seemed like a natural sculpture carved by time. The surrounding forest was equally mesmerizing, with tall pines and vibrant foliage creating a lush green canopy that provided a refreshing break from city life. Hiking through the park was an absolute delight. The well-maintained trails meandered through dense woodlands, leading to scenic viewpoints that offered breathtaking panoramas of the rolling mountains beyond. I followed a path that gradually ascended toward a lookout point, where the vast expanse of the forest stretched endlessly, with mist-shrouded peaks rising in the distance. The crisp mountain air and the occasional chirping of birds made every step along the trail feel soothing and rejuvenating. Beyond the landscapes, the park is rich in biodiversity. Along the way, I spotted various species of birds flitting between the trees and even glimpsed a few small animals rustling in the undergrowth. The presence of pristine streams and waterfalls further enhanced the park’s natural charm, their gentle flow adding a calming soundtrack to the adventure. One of the highlights of my visit was the sense of serenity that Qingchuifeng National Forest Park offers. Unlike some of China’s more crowded tourist sites, this park felt like a peaceful retreat, where I could truly immerse myself in nature without distraction. The lack of large crowds allowed me to take my time, pausing at scenic spots to appreciate the breathtaking views and the tranquility that surrounded me. As I made my way back, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of appreciation for this hidden gem. Qingchuifeng National Forest Park is a perfect destination for those who love hiking, photography, or simply escaping into nature. Whether it’s the majestic rock formations, the lush forests, or the calming presence of flowing streams, this park offers a rejuvenating experience that lingers in the mind long after the journey ends.
